Nichols compared the students and faculty of 50 years ago with those of today and concluded that there had been a significant improvement in both.
"In fact, I'm not sure I could have made it as a student here I had come today," said Nichols, secretary of the Phi Beta Kappa chapter here for 42 years.
"A decline in the birth rate is going to affect our enrollment in the coming years," he said. "Also, the growth of the community colleges will affect our enrollment. They're going to take a higher percentage of freshmen because it costs so much to go to college, think these persons who are applying pressure for increased tuition are wrong."
NICHOLS GREW serious as he speculated on the future of KU.
Nichols said the public was questioning the value of higher education.
"The thinking it is more that education should be career oriented and
less simply learning how to live Nichols.

secret societies. He added that most Greeks weren't involved in Pach and that they probably didn't know of it or its activities until the last few weeks.
In recent years Pach has paid for a number of advertisements in the Jayhawker yearbook. In these ads, the Society of chacaamac has stated its aims
"The Society of Pacchacamac, although unknown to most persons on campus, plays an active, positive role in student life and encourages the students . . . " an ad in the iLBJ, Jayhawker book.
"Pachacuca isn't an organization that exerts its power through coercion or force, but instead is a society which, because of the quality of its members, believes its aims can be realized in influence and persuasion.
"There is today no affiliation or undue concern with campus politics; the society has nothing to do with them."
However, according to Dennis Mullen, Shawnee senior and president of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Pachacamac does have a great influence especially in the Interfraternity Council.
"SOME MEMBERS of the Interfraternity Council are involved in Pachacamac from the top level on down," he said, "and they have great influence on fraternity affairs."
Another past member of the IFC said the first time he heard of Facaacamac, secret societies and their activities was when he attended IFC meetings.
Mullen said Pachacamac was a detriment to the fraternity system.
"Secret societies are a thing of the past," he said, "and I see no need for an underground group to accomplish social and political objectives.
Riads Stevens, Garnett sophomore and member of Beta Theta Pi fraternity, said Pachacamac was a potentially dangerous environment that should be brought out into the open.
“Pach is an organization that seemingly wants to take care of us,” Stevens said, “but I consider this an insult to the intelligence of the people, especially when an organization thinks it knows how to take care of us better than we ourselves.
The next year, Patch turned to campus politics and started to build a dynasty of political power and influence that was to last for the next 42 years.
SOME PEOPLE expressed the opinion that Pach was only an elusive ghost being chased by a bunch of witch hunters, but also many real people, their civilizations were matters of historical record.
On Oct. 26, 1912, the Society of the Inner Circle of Pachacamac was founded as a student political party supporting William Howard Taft for the presidency of the United States. Taft was the Republican candidate.

The Search for Money Colleges Scramble for Funds
Bv BILL GIBSON
Hamline University, a small liberal arts school in St. Paul, is battling the funding pinch by giving $100,000 to alumni to invest in proj-
Hamline's alumni have invested in a sailboat trip down the Mississippi River. Their gladiolus greenhouse, real estate ventures, Indian artifacts, commodity markets.
Many of the projects were immediately lucrative, and school administrators expect to double or even triple their investments.
The Hamline investment plan is one of many experiments being carried out in the US ways to meet their budgets. Proposals for university funding have ranged from raising student tuitions to insuring the lives of university students.
Many universities have already taken emergency measures to prevent financial collapse. St. Louis University closed its school of dentistry and four engineering departments. Princeton University discontinued several special programs, trimmed library services, reduced the number of nursing students and increased faculty salary increases. And many schools have increased the size of their classes and teaching loads.
To prevent further erosion of educational services, universities have sought significant increases in fed- ing resources and new sources of income.
Private donations to universities meet less than 7 per cent of total college expenditures.
But gifts to college resn to $2 billion in fiscal 1972, a 7-percent increase over 1971, and many funding programs are designed to tap this resource. Chatham College, an all-female college of 650 students, is one of the nation's campus-raising campaign mostly through contributions of wealthy donors.

The students attributed their success to their student status, to the fact that they had given money to their parents' need to ask for as much as $10.000.
ington and California to call on prospective donors. Surprised and impressed by the students' appeal, donors contributed generously.
The efforts of the KU students have been quite successful, according to John Conard, director of university relations.
Students at the University of Kansas have also succeeded in encouraging funding. The Concerned Students for Higher Education have placed newspaper ads and distributed leaflets to encourage donations. The Consortium has sponsored legislators from their home town to lobby for increased funding.
"One legislator told me that it meant more to him to have one student contact him in his home town than have a whole group of administrators come to his office," Conard says.
In a report by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, many college administrators contended that there were many sources of revenue that the states didn't adequately use. The administrators recommended broadening the base for state support. Suggested revenue sources included income and sales taxes, increased levies on mineral resources, and increased profit profits. Some states have made little use of sales or income taxes.
has proposed various methods for universities to use to acquire more money from the friends of the school. Bequests are useful sources of funds for colleges since the donor has no earthly purpose for his assets.
Kansas legislators are receptive to requests for increased funding, according to Conard.
"There is an official policy in Kansas against outright lobbying," he says. "We have to operate through official channels."
Conard reported that the Board of Regents had sponsored state-wide meetings to acquaint legislators with funding needs. Conard estimated that 65 per cent of the legislators had attended the meetings.
Bequests are useful sources of funds for colleges since the donor has no earthly purpose for his assets... But seven out of eight people die without a will.
But seven out of eight people die without a will. Colleges should educate students about the date will. Anderson proposed, to save on estate taxes that could inundate them.
The installment immortality plan is a life insurance policy a college could take on the lives of its donors. The premiums would be tax deductible, and the college could eventually receive a substantial legacy.
Depending on his tax bracket, the donor could own securities worth 10 to 100 times what he paid for them in money by donating it to a university.
They sought funds from inside and outside the campus. Stock certificates were printed and sold at $2 a share to students. One group sold Christmas trees. Coeds gave dinner for their men and asked for donations. A third group day telefund was operated by 560 students. Some made trips to Wash-
Students have been especially successful in acquiring money from donors. Students at Brigham Young University decided that their library was inadequate and needed funds to build a new library, fund-raising campaign, and within six months they collected $150,000, $50,000 more than the goal.
The biggest potential source for more funds is the federal government, according to the Carnegie Commission.
The most prominent and controversial proposal for funding higher education in this country is the mitte for Economic Development. This committee is a private organization supported by business and government, which examined the college funding crisis.
It proposed that student tuition rates be more than doubled to meet college costs and that aid be extended to students according to their ability to pay the tuition. The average tuition charge of $133 at state colleges is 5% lower. The committee also recommended limiting tenure to half the faculty.
Students whose families make less than $12,000 a year would receive the National Student Loan or posal. But the National Student Lobby and several public university organizations criticized the proposal, which was unfair to middle-income families.
The critics reasoned that the wealthy student could afford the tuition increase and the poor student might get a grant. But the middle-income family, they say, may not be able to pay people's children, pay fully to educate its own children and pay high interest on loans for education costs.
"The (KU) administration has been consistently opposed to this idea," says Conard of the tuition inthe malls Shopping Center
Oversee proposal. "It is contrary to the historical and traditional position of the right of free public education.
"Of course, it can't be free, but the principle of low-cost higher education has always been observed by some people in South Korea andzens of Kansas and the legislature."
The Committee for Economic Development proposal would raise student tuition to pay for half of instructional costs. The Ohio plan, proposed by Gov. John Gilligan, will also make the taxpayers responsible for the subsidy the taxpayers give them for a college education.
According to the plan, the student would sign an agreement in which he promised to reimbure the state after graduation. The size of his annual payment would be determined by his income after leaving school.
The Ohio Plan was criticized for discrimination against the lower and middle classes for whom public education was designed.
Administrative efficiency techniques have been proposed to avoid wasting the hard-earned donations. The University of Evansville used a computer to assist its annual fundraising campaign, which helped increase donations by 24 per cent in one year.
Many universities have begun organizing cooperative facilities to save money. Regional computer centers, libraries and medical schools have been organized among universities to eliminate the waste of duplication. Many schools now share everything from dormitories to lab equipment.
Christopher Bond, governor of Missouri, proposed a Big Eight common market which would pool the curriculum services of local schools.
Some such cooperation already exists. Missouri architecture students study at the University of Kansas and Kansas dental students study at the University of Missouri for instate fees.
According to Bond's proposal, interstate transfers would increase enrollment in programs operating in states that would eliminate duplication of services.
Changes in the academic calendar could also increase efficiency and alleviate the funding crunch. The Beloit Plan, now used by several colleges, divides the year into three 15-week terms. A student must complete eight terms to graduate. This includes a "field term" taken from a core curriculum, in which a student engages in travel, work or study.
The year-round use of facilities has saved money and has proved to have educational advantages. In 1963, College Belt had a $22,500 deficit. Two years later, using the new plan, it had a surplus of $97,000.
The plan increased the diversification of the school and furthered each student's practical education. But it also stunted extra-curricular activities such as sports and student government since no student attends on a regular schedule there was little continuity in activities.
Many schools have been struggling to increase enrollment since more enrolment means more tuition. New curriculum programs have been established at many schools to attract more students.
In 1968, the University of Wisconsin focused its entire academic program at its Green Bay campus on environmental problems, and enrollment more than doubled in one year.
Ferris State College began giving degrees in auto mechanics. That increased enrollment by 25 per cent in two years. More tuition may be offered, answer these colleges found to the pressing financial predicaments.
